[Trainer-Talk] Tools for computer

[Morin, Gary (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Hi, Tom,

For headphones, I'd suggest https://www.wearandhear.com/ Wear and Hear.  They're wireless.  I've paired them with my hearing aid and with my television and they should be able to be paired with a laptop, according to their website. (I've just paired it to my laptop and am trying to get it to work.)

Email me at my personal address if you want to discuss it more unofficially, so that I'm not recommending a product in my government position.

________________________________

I use these Wear & Hear assistive listening devices<https://www.wearandhear.com/shop/> on occasion and they're very comfortable.  They can be programmed (they're NOT hearing aids as defined by the FDA) decently to a person's hearing and Bluetooth connected to a television or laptop  (I sometimes use them in both ears, sometimes just my left and keep my hearing aid on in my right ear - so that I can listen to two different sources of sound/information.

It has one particularly really cool feature: "EasyListen(tm) - slowing down speech dynamically during phone conversations".  This is really useful for me when I'm in my non-native language.  I've paired it with my iPhone and (with an adaptor) to my television;  it also pairs with a laptop and has a built-in mic. https://www.wearandhear.com/product/behear-now-shop/

Hello,

I am going to need to be using Zoom much more than before, and they want me to use a camera for video. I don't have a camera on my computer and was hoping someone could suggest one that would be easy to use and set up.

Also, I was wondering if there were any wireless or Bluetooth headsets I could use for my computer and JAWS. Someone gave me some headphones, but they had a long cord and weren't the most comfortable.

Thank you for your suggestions.
